Do I need a new monitor or graphics card?

[krbrown2000]

I have an HP Envy Desktop 750-114 and an HP V242h monitor. Colors, etc. on the monitor are flat, dull and almost gray. It's been like this since we got the computer about a year ago. I tweaked the contrast, etc., on the monitor and it's a little better, but still not great.

So, do I need a new graphics card for the computer, or a new monitor? I'm afraid if I buy a new monitor, it'll be the same, dull and flat.

If a new graphics card is needed, what would be a good one, and would I need a new power supply?

My son does like to do gaming, so one that is good for gaming would be preferred.

Thanks in advance!

I did a little experimenting and partially answered my own question. I removed the monitor in question (HP V242h) and hooked it up to another computer. What a world of difference! So I don't believe it's the monitor, but the graphics card.

So an amended question: What would be a good graphics card for my HP Envy Desktop 750-114? One that improves the display and provides better gaming? Also, would I need a new power supply?

Thanks again in advance!
